The Hummus and Fish Tacos are amazing! Also try the House Margaritha and ask for their specials, the Salmon Salad we got was great as well ! Nice staff and reasonable prices.
Everything we tried was great! Go for the shark attack, bloody mary , fish tacos and jerk chicken . The homemade hot sauce is also killer.
Excellent service , seated quickly, staff was very polite, food was "off the hook!!" Definitely added to our regular places to eat. Great staff and great food, you run a fantastic restaurant Richard.
Teriyaki burger is so yummy! This place also has great tortilla chips and salsa . Fries are alright, but they put a lot of salt and pepper on the fries . Ask for none or to go easy on seasoning.
Black Bean and Fish Burrito . Always solid. And those fries … We dream about those fries .
Fish tacos and the jerk burger were both good. Fries here are quite unique (in a very good way). Unsweetened ice tea (the only way they serve it) was good too. Will be visiting this place again!
Try the Roasted Red Pepper Artichoke Crab Dip - roasted red pepper - artichoke heart crab dip topped with jumbo lump crab meat . served with toasted pita points. (via @Foodspotting)
A local favorite. Seating is limited but the conch , crab , clams and more are worth the wait. While here, take a trip around the world by exploring the license plates that cover the walls and ceiling. Read more
The CocoLoco Chicken is great!! So is the bacon wrapped shrimp and grits as well as the beans and rice .
Holy hell!!! Amazing fish tacos and steamed shrimp ! Great atmosphere and everyone there was sooooo nice, from staff to patrons. We will definitely be back next time we're here!
Get there early for an easy wait! Jerk chicken , fish tacos , and Bajan burger are all amazing
Great beachy cocktails and definitely get the fish tacos . Very cool little place.
Salsa had a bit of a spice kick. Had to wait an hour to be seated (unless you go to the open bar ) but this is during vacation season. Jerk chicken was packed with flavor. Service great!
Far and away the best place on the beach . Fish tacos are bomb. Always a long wait so post up at the bar for a drink while you wait for your table. Banging sushi , but only on Wednesday's.
Try the Four Cheese Artichoke Crab Dip - four cheese , baby spinach , artichoke and crab dip with toasted pita points (via @Foodspotting)
My favorite beach restaurant by far! Small and cozy , great atmosphere, good food, and all sorts of great beers (imports) on TAP .
They have some of the best steamed, spiced shrimp on the beach . Parking is limited, but there is a public beach access nearby folks use for overflow parking and walk.
Great Beer selection and fresh steamed seafood choices !!
Try the Creamy Red Curried Crab & Portobello Soup - creamy red curried crab and portobello soup (via @Foodspotting)
Try the Chili Wings - chili wings ~ chili garlic glazed wings with chopped peanuts & scallions (via @Foodspotting)
A must go if you venture to the OBX, the Jerk Burger is a classic!
HUGE fish tacos . I couldn't eat more than 1 at lunch . Conch fritters were excellent.
Authentic local seafood ... Amazing tuna and great little local atmosphere... Not great for big groups so get their early!
Tasty seafood , nice atmosphere
I have never had a bad meal nor have I had bad service here, both during the busy summer season and the off season!
Love tortugas,my favorite spot when looking for good fresh food .awesome fries and great salad specials.they make my favorite hot sauce ever.
Best food on the Outer Banks . Get your name in early cause they fill up fast. Fish tacos and BBQ Cluck sandwich are amazing!!
Sunshine Margarita Grande is a must, especially if mamma needs a refill! Nachos are always # 1 for appetizers & a BOFF is a given
Fish tacos ! Rice and beans were excellent, just a bit spicy . Amazing.
Try the Conch Fritters - conch fritters ~ loaded with conch , lightly fried (via @Foodspotting)
The only thing good here was my drink Lost Tortuga (Light rum & Spiced rum , Creme de banana , Orange & pineapple juice ). The food was meh. Anything in the menu w/jerk seasoning was bland.
Worth the wait! Get the island fries . Delicious. Very friendly and accommodating.
Go for sushi Wednesday - it's fantastic! Get there very early to get a seat!
Fish tacos are yummy! Tortuga's Lie jot sauce is no joke. It will melt your face off.
Uh, amazing scallops , fish tacos , fish burrito , oh the sushi , by FAR the best restaurant on the beach !!
Tried the Chicken Coco Loco , definitely something to get when you visit
Don't even look at the menu. Just get the fish tacos . You can thank me later...
Try the Cayman Conch Fritters - cayman conch fritters (via @Foodspotting)
Great place for drinks and food and cool people. The real deal!
Get the Baja Fish Tacos ... Flat Tire is also on tap !
Best fries ! Always get the special and you will never be disappointed
Steamed spiced shrimp , coco loco , any tuna special and a cold Pacifico and you cannot go wrong.
Really great fish tacos and good beer selection
This place is amazing! Fries are great and the chips and salsa are a great alternative too
Delish Fish Tacos and Coco Loco Chicken :)
Coco Loco Chicken (coconut breaded chicken breast with black beans , rice & a killer lime sauce ) is the bomb!
Great place to eat anytime, kid friendly . Quiet and full of locals in the off season.
Was pretty good. Little tight on the inside if it is packed and it will be packed. I would go again.
The tomato clam bisque is heavenly!
Baja fish tacos with tuna is the best ever... Everything here is awesome
